Re: Identify These Slider Caps
They looks like 80s Roland to me. Juno1/2 has something sorta similar. PG800 too. JX8P also.

Re: JVC/Lowrey home phatness
Hurrah for Lowery Microgenies! I grew up on a V60 and later tracked down a V120. They are pretty cool for what they are (esp the V120). They can sound awesome through some pedals. Also, an old organ trick, but you can carefully press on more than one instrument at a time. And if you crank the accomp...

Re: Synth Defects - Ticking Time Bombs
I've seen a number of JX3P control panel switches go south. Or you have to press them five times to get them to work. Worse yet, there is NO replacement available for them. You can rip apart another 3P for parts but that's it. Really a bummer, especially since it looks promising as they're ALPS swit...

Re: Korg Polysix
It probably depends a lot on geography. I'm not seeing prices anywhere close to what people here are quoting so far. In fact, I see them semi-regularly for half that price. Middle of the US on craigslist. YMMV

ARP Odyssey Mods?
I'm helping a friend troubleshoot an MKII 2813 that seems to have had a mod added to it: namely, there is an extra circuitboard floating around in the case that connects to two XLR and one 1/4" jack on the side of the synth. I've only taken a cursory look so far, but I'm going to guess that a previo...

Re: Best synth under £100
There's a lot of good Ensoniq machines that go for cheap these days.

Re: VSE Variations Competition - September 2014
wow on the lady doubling on flute and sax. Not common for the same chair to double on reed and woodwind is it? Well, first of all, "reed" and "woodwind" is virtually synonymous, with the exception of the flute I suppose. It's a woodwind, but not a "reed" per se. Secondly, yes, it is pretty common f...

Re: which synth should be set on fire?
I can't bring myself to vote for burning any musical instrument. And I definitely can't vote for the VL-1, my first "synth" and my user icon. :) I'd also have a hard time nailing the Orbit, because it usually comes with a Leslie. It sounds wheezy and anemic, but it's totally weird and a direct mimic...

Re: "The pre-MIDI era" questions
The MIDI organization says that the first two were a Prophet 600 and a Roland Jupiter 6. http://www.midi.org/aboutmidi/tut_history.php I'll also add that in the pre-midi days some bands used tape loops instead of sequencers live. soft cell (stage center): http://www.virginmedia.com/images/Soft-Cell-...
